Jalal
comes
to
meet
Rukaiya
after
Jodha
requests
him.
He
remains
strict
and
tells
Rukaiya
that
he
cannot
forgive
her.
She
has
brought
an
insult
upon
the
Mughal
Empire
and
has
ruined
the
labor
of
the
poor
farmers.
She
has
also
risked
the
life
of
the
Emperor
by
burning
the
letter.
Akbar
declares
‘no
pardon’
for
Rukaiya
and
leaves
the
room.
Rukaiya
becomes
mentally
prepared
to
leave
for
Kabul.
Jodha
again
makes
a
plea
to
Akbar,
but
for
no
result!
She
discusses
the
matter
with
wise
man
of
the
court,
King
Birbal.
She
tells
him
that
Akbar
might
look
strict,
but
it
is
obvious
that
he
will
also
break
down
when
Rukaiya
will
go.
Jodha
tells
Akbar
that
Rukaiya
has
spoiled
her
business,
so
she
is
‘her
convict’.
According
to
the
Mughal
law,
she
has
the
right
to
punish
Rukaiya.
Akbar
says
he
can
give
her
the
right,
but
he
will
never
allow
her
to
forgive
Rukaiya.
Salima
Begum
sits
with
Murad
to
spend
some
time
before
he
leaves
Agra.
She
gives
him
a
sweet
dish
made
by
herself
and
becomes
emotional.
Murad
regrets
that
Salima
was
a
good
mother,
but
he
could
not
make
her
proud.
He
promises
that
he
will
do
something
in
future,
so
that
Salima
can
be
proud
of
him!
Rukaiya
is
called
in
the
court
for
a
second
trial
to
be
proceeded
by
Jodha.
Jodha
says
she
is
not
going
to
forgive
Rukaiya.
She
tells
Rukaiya
that
she
has
to
prove
her
loyalty
to
the
Mughal
Empire;
she
has
to
set
up
a
trade
in
Kabul
and
run
it
successfully.
Once
she
is
able
to
do
it,
she
can
come
back
to
Agra,
declares
Jodha!
Everyone
praises
Jodha’s
unique
method
of
punishing
a
convict.
